SYRACUSE, N.Y. — A Liverpool man faces more than 500 years in prison for his admission today that he sexually exploited three children to make child pornography.
Jason Kopp, 40, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Glenn Suddaby to taking sexually explicit photos of three children with help from an aide at All Saints Elementary School. At least one of the images was taken at the school, a source said. Kopp also possessed hundreds of lewd images and videos of other children.
Last week Kopp pleaded guilty to the charges, but Suddaby refused to accept his plea because he would not admit to a detailed account of his crimes.
Today, prosecutor Lisa Fletcher read the litany of Kopp’s crimes, including detailed and graphic descriptions of how he took photos of children in lewd positions and photos of himself making sexual contact with an infant. He transmitted those photos through text messages, messaging applications and email.
